Not only that has the wrong architecture when it looks for the $7 trillion investment, but as they're talking to UAE government for the investment at this scale, it will not really guarantee any edge to the US. Nor does it do favours to the global .

What I really enjoy in @protonmail is self-destructing emails. You get a coupon code, you set it to self-destruct on the date of coupon expiry. Reducing inbox clutter.

The fact that had 2456 fossil fuel lobbyists present at the event is yet another blow to the credibility of the otherwise necessary conference.

"Apple backs national right-to-repair bill, offering parts, manuals, and tools"
